In the top, left-hand corner of the screen, click the New Connection button.

 

A small window drops down from the top of the screen.

In the first drop-down menu, select FTP (File Transfer).

Server  =  enter the address of the ftp server.  If you're connecting to your personal space on the server, enter the address.  It follows this format:  users.ispname.com.
Port  =  enter the default port of 21.

Path =  leave this field blank.

Username  =  enter your dial-up username (include the domain tail @ispname.com (or .net)).

Transferring files:

To transfer files, simply drag and drop them from any folder (your Desktop, for example) on you computer to the Cyberduck's window and vice versa.
